FIRST APPLICATION FOR A MUNICIPAL FORM OF 
GOVERNMENT. 

[Holland Doc. Vol. IV.] 

To the Nobfe) High and Mighty Lords 
the Lords States General of the United JVetherla?idSj 
our Most Illustrious Sovereigns. 
Gracious Lords, — This Province of New Netherland having 
been reduced, in the course of time to a very sad and uttei'ly 
ruinous condition, in consequence, as we presume, of firstly, An 
unsuitable government ; secondly, Scantiness of privileges and 
exemptions ; thirdly, Heavy burthens of imposts, exactions and 
such like ; fourthly, Long continued war ; fifthly, The wreck of 
the Princess ; sixthly, The multitude of Traders and fewness of 
Boors and farm servants ; seventhly, Great scarcity in general ; 
eightly and lastly, The insufferable arrogance of the Natives and 
Indians arising from the paucity of our numbers etc. and having 
long waited in vain, though we have petitioned and sought for aid 
redress and assistance from the Lords Directors, in the highest 
degree necessary for them and for us ; We, therefore, unable to 
delay any longer, being reduced to the lowest ebb, have deter- 
mined to fly for refuge to their High Mightinesses, our gracious 
Sovereigns and the Fathers of this Province, most humbly praying 
and beseeching them to look with merciful eyes on this their 
Province and that their High Mightinesses would be pleased to 
order and correct matters so that dangers may be removed, troubles 
terminated, and population and prosperity promoted, as their High 
Mightinesses in their renowned wisdom shall be determined, We, 
with humble reverence only deeming it good and necessary to 
petition their High Mightinesses for the following Points as of 
advantage for this Province : — 

Firstly; We supplicate and beseech their High Mightinesses 



596 PAPERS RELATING TO 

to people New Nelherland so that it may support sustain and 
defend itself against Indians and others who might trouble and 
invade it ; for if this should fail, that country will not only fall 
into the uttermost ruin, but also become easily appropriated by 
our Neighbors ; and those who already dwell there will be forced 
to use all possible means to return and save themselves from 
misery, or to submit to foreign Nations. All which, according 
to our humble understanding, is to be remedied 

1 st . When their High Mightinesses shall be pleased to take 
this Province under their own gracious safeguard, and to 
allow their Fatherly affection for this Land to be promulgated 
and made manifest, throughout the United Netherlands, by 
their own accorded privileges. Many would, then, be at- 
tracted towards this country, whilst, on the contrary every 
one is discouraged by the Company's harsh proceedings and 
want of means. 
2 nd . Were their High Mightinesses pleased to equip some ships 
for a few years, for the free conveyance and transportation 
of people principally Boors and farm servants with their 
poverty hither, together with some necessary maintenance 
until the poor people had obtained something in esse, their 
High Mightinesses would not only relieve many incumbered 
men, but also expect from God, through their intercession, 
luck, blessing and prosperity. 
3 rd . If their High Mightinesses would please to order all 
vessels proceeding and trading toward these northern parts 
of America, to call first at the Manhattans in New Netherland, 
and bring with them as many persons as they can seasonably 
procure and conveniently carry, at suitably fixed rates, many 
proprietors would, no doubt, emigrate within a short time to 
New Netherland. 
Secondly, We humbly solicit permanent privileges and ex- 
emptions which promote population and prosperity & which in 
our opinion consist in 

1 st . Suitable Burgher Government, such as their High Mighti- 
nesses shall consider adapted to this Province and resembling 
somewhat the Laudable government of our Fatherland. 



THE CITY OF NEW YORK. 597 

2 nd . Freedom from duties, tenths and imposts which at the 
first beginning are useless and oppressive, until the country 
is peopled and somewhat firmly established. 

3 rd . That the Returns in Tobacco shipped hence, be free from 
all duties, which would not only afford great encouragement 
to the planters who convert the forest into farms but be better 
also for their servants who could thus be accommodated with 
all sorts of necessaries. 

4 th . Also, permission to export, sell, & barter grain, timber 
work, and all other wares and merchandize the produce of 
the country every way and eveiy where their High Mighti- 
nesses have allies and have granted to the Netherlander the 
privilege of resort and trade. 

5 th . That their High Mightinesses would be pleased to accord 
privileges and freedoms for the encouragement of the In- 
habitants in favor of the fisheries, which many suppose were 
good and profitable heretofore, and would hereafter be of 
great consequence. 

Thirdly, We humbly beseech their High Mightinesses to be 
pleased to determine and so to establish and order the Boundaries 
of this Province, that all causes of difference, disunion and trouble 
may be cut off and prevented ; that their High Mightinesses 
subjects may live and dwell in peace and quietness, and enjoy 
their liberty as well in trade and commerce as in intercourse and 
settled limits. 2 d . That their High Mightinesses would be pleased 
to preserve us in peace with the neighbouring Republicks, Colonies 
and others their High Mightinesses allies, so that we may pursue 
without let or hindrance, under proper regulations from their 
High Mightinesses, the trade of our country as well along the 
coast from Terra Nova to Cape Florida as to the West Indies and 
to Europe whenever our Lord God shall be pleased to permit ;. 
and 3 d . to make manifest to the incredulous their High Mighti- 
nesses earnest support of this Province, we respectfully request 
that their H. M. would be pleased to quarter here a company or 
two of soldiers, for the defence of those residing at a distance 
and the establishment of New Plantations and Colonies, until by 



59S PAPERS RELATING TO 

our progress, we shall dread neither Indians or other enemies, 
but even shall be able to prevent their mischievous designs. 

All this have we concluded with humble reverence to propose 
according to our limited knowledge and understanding, earnestly 
supplicating their High Mightinesses, for the love of New Nether- 
land which now lies at its extremity, as is to be seen at length 
in our annexed Remonstrance, to be pleased to direct their 
attention thereto according to their wise and provident council, and 
to interpret most favorably this our presumption. 

We pray and hope that the name of New Netherland and the 
conversion of the Heathen which ought to be hastened, shall move 
their H. M. hereunto. Expecting, therefore, a happy deliverance 
we commend their H. M's persons and deliberations to the pro- 
tection of the Almighty, and remain their H. M.'s humble and 
obedient servants. Written in the name and on the behalf of the 
Commonalty of New Netherland, the Six and Twentieth of July, 
in the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ, One thousand, Six hundred, 
Nine & Forty, in New Amsterdam on the Island Manhattans in 
New Netherland.

THE DIRECTORS OF THE WEST INDIA COMPANY 

TO THE DIRECTOR AND COUNCIL OF NEW NETHERLAND ; DATED 
AMSTERDAM, THE 4 th APRIL 1652. 

[Dutch Records, Letter Q. 1648—1664.] 

" We have already connived as much as possible at the many 
Impertinences of some Restless spirits in the hope that they might 
be shamed by our discreetness and benevolence, but perceiving 
that all Kindnesses do not avail, we must, therefore, have recourse 
to God, to Nature and the Law. We accordingly hereby charge 
and command your Honors, whenever you shall certainly discover 
any Clandestine Meetings, Conventicles or machinations against 
our States' government or that of our Country, that you proceed 
against such malignants in proportion to their crimes, with this 
precaution however, that we in no wise require that any one 
should have it in his power to complain, with reason or cause, 
that he was injured through private malice, which is far from our 
intention. 

" We remark in many Representations, though of Malversants 
that some hide themselves under this cloak, though we must believe 
and even see, that they have not, in reality, so suffered j yet to stop 
the mouth of all the world, we have resolved, on your Honors' 
proposition, to permit you hereby, to erect there a Court of 
Justice (een banckvan Justitie) formed, as much as possible, after 

1 The above " order" will be found entire in O'Callaghan's Hist, of N. 
Neherland. Vol. 2. p. 132, but so much of it only is given here as applies to the 
first establishment of a Municipal form of government, in the present city of New 
York. 



600 PAPERS RELATING TO 

the custom of this City : to which end printed copies relative to 
all the Law courts and their whole government are sent herewith. 
And we presume that it will be sufficient at first to choose one 
Sheriff, 1 two Burgomasters and five Schepens, from all of whose 
judgments an appeal shall lie to the Supreme Council, where 
definitive judgment shall be decreed. 

" In the Election of the aforesaid persons every attention must 
be paid to honest and respectable individuals who we hope can be 
found among the Burghers ; and especially do we wish that those 
promoted thereto be, as much as possible, persons of this Nation, 
who we suppose will give the most satisfaction to the Burghers 
and Inhabitants." 



INSTRUCTION FOE THE SHERIFF OF NEW AMSTERDAM. 

[Dutch Records ; Letter V. 1652—1663.] 

J. In the first place, the Sheriff shall, as the Director General 
and Council's guardian of the law in the district of the city of 
New Amsterdam, preserve, protect and maintain, to the best of 
his knowledge and ability, the preeminences and immunities of 
the privileged West India Company, in as far as these have been 
delegated by previous Instruction to the Board of Burgomasters 
and Schepens ; without any dissimulation, or regard for any 
private favor or displeasure. 

2. In the quality aforesaid, he shall convoke the meetings of 
Burgomasters and Schepens and preside thereat, also propose 
all matters which shall be brought there for deliberation, collect 
the Votes, and resolve according to the plurality thereof.

and transgressors, of any Placards, Laws, Statutes and Ordinances

enacted and made public, as far as those are amenable before the 
Court of Burgomasters and Schepens, and with this understanding 
that, having entered his suit against the aforesaid Contraveners,

THE CITY OF NEW- YORK. 601 

he shall immediately rise, and await the judgment of Burgomas- 
ters and Schepens who being prepared shall also, on his motion, 
pronounce the same. 

4. And in order that he may well and regularly institute his 
complaint, the Sheriff, before entering his action or arresting any 
person, shall pertinently inform himself of the crime of which he 
shall accuse him, without his being empowered to arrest any one, 
on the aforesaid information, unless the offence be committed in 
his presence. * 

5. He shall take all his informations in the presence of two 
members of the Board of Burgomasters and Schepens if the case 
shall permit it, or otherwise in the presence of two discreet 
persons who, with the Secretary or his deputy shall sign the 
aforesaid informations. 

6. Which aforesaid Secretary with the Court Messenger are 
expressly commanded to assist and be serving unto the Sheriff in 
whatever relates to their respective offices. 

7. He shall take care in collecting and preparing informations 
to act impartially, and to bring the truth as clear and naked as 
possible to light, noting to that end, all circumstances w r hich in 
any w r ay deserve consideration, and appertain to the case. 

8. Item. The aforesaid Sheriff, on learning or being informed 
that any persons have injured each other or quarrelled, shall have 
power to command the said individuals, either personally or by 
the court messenger, or his deputy to observe the peace, and to 
forbid them committing any assault, on pain of arbitrary correc- 
tion at the discretion of the Burgomasters and Schepens. 

9. He shall not have power to compound with any person for 
their committed offences except w r ith the knowledge of the Bur- 
gomasters and Schepens. 

10. He shall take care that all Judgments pronounced by the 
Burgomasters and Schepens, and which are not appealed from, shall 
be executed conformably to the above mentioned Instruction given 
to the same, according to the stile and custom of Fatherland and 
especially the city of Amsterdam. 

11. In like manner, that authentic copies of all the Judgments 
Orders, Actes and Resolutions to be adopted by the aforesaid Bur- 



602 PAPERS RELATING TO 

gomasters and Schepens shall be communicated once every year, 
to the Director General and Council of New Netherland. 

12. And in case he receive any information or statement of any 
offences which from their nature, or on account of the offending 
person are not subject to his complaint, he shall be bound forth- 
with to communicate the same to the Fiscal (Attorney Genl.) 
without taking any information himself, much less arresting the 
offender, unless in actual aggression to prevent greater mischief, 
or hinder flight in consequence of the enormity of the crime. 

13. Which being done, he shall, as before, surrender without 
any delay the apprehended person with the information taken to 
the Fiscal, to be proceeded against by him in due form as circum- 
stances demand. 

14. In order that the aforesaid Sheriff shall be the more encour- 
aged hereunto, he shall enjoy etc. 

This must be fixed in the country yonder, with advice. 

15. Should the sheriff violate any of these Articles he shall be 
prosecuted on the complaint of the Fiscal before the Director and 
Council, to be punished according to the nature of the case.
